Dear friends, family and beautiful strangers,

I have some urgent and fantastic news to share

Last Friday night Fyodor's Performance Carousel (2014, Faena Arts Center, Buenos Aires) has received a Grand Prix at Kuryokhin Art Prize, St Petersburg

(We share it with an Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson)

The words are not enough to express love and gratitude to my amazing Carousel co-artists Andres Knob, Belen Romero Gunset, Bhagvan David Barki de Lima, Chuyia Chia, Dudu Alcon Quintanilha, Eloise Fornieles, Joshua Seidner, and Lolo y Lauti, as well as to my wonderful curators Ximena Caminos and Marcello Pisu, my most beloved architect Marko Brajovic + his Atelier, my crime partner artist Ilya Pusenkoff, and my long time curatorial collaborator Katya Krylova

The special love goes to Len Blavatnik and to the entire Faena Family that made this dream coming through, and of course to my amazing studio team in Moscow (Anna, you are my superhero)

I hope The Carousel will continue its rotation very soon

Until then - or even earlier -

Love,
Fyodor
